10.4 Mounting the pump set
Place the pump set on the foundation or an even floor and secure
it with anchor bolts. The entire base frame must be supported.
See fig. 13 and fig. 14. In addition, we recommend fitting vibration
dampers under the pump set. See section
10.3 Vibration

10.5 Alignment
When a complete pump set comes pre-assembled from the
factory, the coupling has been accurately aligned by means of
shims inserted under the pump and engine.
During transport and installation, the pump/driver alignment may
have been affected. Therefore the alignment must always be
checked when the pump set has been installed.
Check the final alignment when the pump has obtained its
operating temperature under normal operating conditions.
10.5.1 Pump set with electric motor
Pump sets with an electric motor are equipped with a standard or
spacer coupling.
Fig. 15
Aligning pump and drive unit
The gap width S2 and torque required for the alignment are
shown in the following table. S1 must not be larger than 0.2 mm.
A slightly larger gap is acceptable as the pump set is not intended
for continuous operation.
Gap width S2
Warning
Lift the pump set by means of the lifting eyes of
the base frame. Never use the lifting eyes of the
individual components.
Use only suitable lifting equipment in proper
condition. See also the weight specifications on
the nameplate.
The pump set must only be transported when the
cabinet door is locked.
Warning
The permissible floor loading must not be
exceeded. The weight of the pump set is stated
on the nameplate

Warning
After checking or adjusting the alignment,
fit the coupling guard.
Caution
Careful alignment is important for a long service
life of the coupling. This is particularly important
at increased engine speed. Follow the
instructions of the coupling manufacturer.
Note
The alignment should be made before connecting
the pipes; if not, it may not be possible to move
the pump, and it will be difficult to move the
driver.

Caution
The gap dimension S2 should be measured
across the entire scope of the coupling (360 °).
The largest and smallest value measured should
not differ by more than 0.2 mm. A slightly higher
difference is acceptable as the pump set is not
intended for continuous operation.
